What frustrates me is how close the conspirators got to achieving their goal. They didn't want to save their leader or the Nazi party or even really themselves. They wanted to save Germany and its people.
Most of these Generals were fine with Hitler and the Nazis and the war up until the point where they began losing the war.

Actually nope. Latest research states that the Soviets would still push. There would be possible truce between Ger and western countries but the Soviets would still push toward Berlin at least. Also at that stage they would easily defeat Germany alone.
That would be very difficult situation for the allies. Soviet propaganda would use that extremly hard as to who is opposing the former nazi army and who is helping them. I dont belive the allies would still remain so united then. GB was economically crushed at that point and France was military marginal value so they both would push against another conflict. If USA would decide to oppose the soviets they would end up most probably alone.Wiithout those 2 how could USA explain new war?
Annogi I haven't done research on the topic but I would have assumed if they still had to fight the USSR they would have allowed the western allies to reach Berlin and keep Germany from being split from Becoming a Communist state.
JTN Akl Actually even if they still managed to kill Hitler, Valkyrie was initiated far too late into the war to have ang effect, Stauffenberg's plan was to conduct peace negotiations with the western allies, BUT did not want to stop fighting the soviets in the east. In his original plan he sought to surrender "conditionally" which was unacceptable to the western allies. And they failed to kill Himmler, Göring, Goebbels and the German Chief of Staffs Keitel and Jodl, this would result in a counter coup that would eliminate the Stauffenburg's government within minutes and would lead to either Himmler or Göring's ascension as thr new Führer
Emin Carpentier the second bomb did not work cause they ran out of time to arm it properly but the first bombs explosion would have triggered the second one
@@carlopulanco183 Unless Rommel jumped on Stauffenburg's train and led the Wehrmacht against Hitler's henchmen. Since he was arguably their most popular general, both the people and the military would support him. It could also be arguable that if the plan worked and he negotiated with the Allies, they could work together to backstab the Soviets since Churchill and the Allies were fearful of the post war soviet problem. This would seem like a perfect way to knock out 2 birds with one stone. We all know Churchill had operation unthinkable in his back pocket in 1945.

I admire those German people that opposed the Nazis. To do what they did required extraordinary courage. Several of them faced their deaths by the hands of their oppressors with defiance. For their actions, they will not be forgotten.
they didn't made that for any precious honour... they know by july 20 that all their prussian states will fall into comunist hands and they made that only for german integrity not for hating the nazis.
shred blue Hitler was against western values. He absolutely loathed Christians, and the only reason he probably refrained from targeting Christians was because the majority of the German population was Christian. Although even then he targeted certain Christian groups such as Jehovah's witnesses. He was also very fond of Islam, and despised capitalism. He would admire Isis far more than any of the European countries. He loathed Europe and their imperialism, even though he himself partook in what could be considered imperialism.
What an amazing piece of history this would've been if it actually worked. I mean, it was amazing that the attempt happened but imagine if they pulled it off. It would've rewritten so much, the berlin wall, the cold war, so much could've been different if Germany did not fall the way it did.
No that would of most likely happened anyway. The allies by this point already committed to unconditional surrender only, and had already agreed to partision/devide Germany at the Tehran conference. And at casbalanca the Americans announced they would not accept anything less than unconditional surrender. In otherwords the allies, well America and Russia (the British and the free french were not so committed), had already effectively committed to the Berlin Wall in 1943. This would have saved hundreds of thousands if not millions from concentration camps however. And it might have saved non-german countries from getting soviet occupation (like Poland) which might have shortened the cold War one way or another.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Then again, at this point of the war, the Allies were already concerned about containing Stalin's influence and the USSR itself. Depending on how the government was operated post-Valkyrie, as well as what the terms of surrender were, it may have been good enough for the Western powers to accept over what they did with Stalin. It would allow both Britain and the US to completely focus on Japan in the Pacific, ending the war far sooner and with a far smaller Soviet Russia. If the nukes are still completed, their true capabilities may be kept secret long enough to stall Soviet nuclear development, and the USSR would not get many of the German technologies they did (mostly jet engines and rocket designs) from captured scientists and documents.
@@country_flyboy The western powers would never agree to some kind of settlement they were committed to unconditional surrender only and to all allied powers(USSR as well) It is true they were afraid of Stalin, mainly Churchill but at this point he was seen as very valuable ally. The concerns really came only in 1945. They've seen nazism as enemy number 1, not communism. The terms of some kind of potential and unprobable peace with western allies are up to debate because no one has any idea what they would look like. Either way it wouldn't have been good. USSR was throwimg men at Nazis and were pushing them back quickly. How the war Nazis v Soviets would've ended would depend on the allied help. I imagine they would stop it but either communist Europe or Nazi Europe (excluding France, Norway and the low countries which I imagine would've been freed in any kind of settlement) depending on who would win the war. But I believe that Nazi Germany was destined to lose this war completely and absolutely. Don't want to quote Hitler but he said something along the lines: "Providence has saved me to finish my doing". Yes that's true. His doing was to absolutely and completely destroy Germany to it's core.
Maybe Churchill Plan "Operation Unthinkable" would then really have been carried out. To attack Stalin with a rearmed Wehrmacht, British troops and US Army. Just as it was scheduled for 1 July 1945. The first attempt of a kind of NATO with 47 divisions of the Western Allies. This was also General Pattons plan. But it was too late and risky. After spying information, in 1944, Stalin serious thought to marching on with Its Army as far as France and Italy after a victory over Germany and at the same time conquering norway and denmark in order to secure the Baltic Sea. When it was too late for "Operation Unthinkable", they prepared for a defense of Great Britian against the Soviet Union.
You forgot they pacific Front?, But in First place the soviets won't accept a peace and the sovereign of many states under german rule in the East, only with a change of Regime in Germany, and something that the movie don't mentions is the will of german military was to continue the war against USSR, Churchill was a supporter of War against USSR at that point, even was a possible plan to rearm germans and fight back with them against URSS, that could change the politics between USSR and Japan, even cancel USSR Offensive in Manchuria in 1945, that could extend the war in Japan(fact: Bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't caused the Japan Surrender, only the USSR Invasion days later), the Downfall Op. could be done by US, that could mean a total massacre in Japan(the Two bombs could look like a Childrens Game) and war extension until 1947 in the pacific. But in that point the Interest of allies to support a Rebellion or a coup in Germany was lost since 1943, they have choosen the destruccion of german Industrial and War Machine, with totally disarmed Germany, to apply the Morgentau Plan(Research It if you want), but then was cancel, instead they applied Marshall Plan, cause Morgentau Plan would created a weak flank agaist soviets in the whole German state remains.

People always write on and make film of "what if the Nazi's won" Alternate Universe's, it'd be more realistic if they wrote on what if the Operation Valkyrie was a success, you wouldn't have a ruined Germany, the USSR would've collapsed much earlier, Communism would've disintegrated and North Korea probably wouldn't exist… Who knows?
ha.. you mean what if the good guys actually won? well there biggest enemy was communism so they would have destroyed that an liberated all the countires under communism. an yes "liberate" incase you don't know history the east europians saw them as liberators. communists did fucked up shit to them before ww2 like with Ukraine they militarily quarantined their country and took all their food away, like 10 million people died of hunger. no communism means no red china and all the good that comes with that, no Korean or Vietnam war, no nk. and the jews plan to dissolve the europian races with multiculturalism and DIEversity never would have hatched. how often do you think the thought "hmm am I brainwashed?" pops into the mind of a north Korean... and its same with everyone here too.
If the regular German Army had turned on the SS, the allies more than likely would have joined on the German side and possibly even have fought the USSR
Zero chance of that. German generals even approached the allies with that possibility - they were turned down. It was unconditional surrender all the way.
Lol what? The only difference would have been a slightly less insane regime in Germany and the war might have ended about a month sooner. The Valkyrie plotters wanted a negotiated peace with the Western Allies that would have recognized their conquests of Czechoslovakia and Poland in exchange for withdrawal from occupied Western Europe. The Allies would never have accepted this, seeing as how President Roosevelt said that he would accept nothing less than the complete and unconditional surrender of all Axis forces. Even if the plot had succeeded and the plotters made their peace with the western Allies, they still would have been steamrolled by the Soviets within a year. If anything, communism would have been stronger, as the Iron Curtain would have been laid in the Alps rather than the Carpathians.
This movie would've been so much better if they actually spoke German and had subtitles. Or at the very least, German accents, not British and American.
Making the movie with English-American actors speaking English with a German accent would make even less sense than they speaking just regular English. "English with a German accent" gives off the idea that these are all Germans that are speaking accented English to each other for some reason, which makes no sense. With them speaking regular English, you get the feeling that they are all speaking the same language (in this case, German) to each other, and we can understand them because the fourth wall acts as a 'translator' of sorts.

Nothing would have changed, the demands that the conspirators hade for post war Europe was pretty unreasonable, since it meant a return to pre 1939 Germany, wich included incorporation of Austria, Alsace-Lorraine and Sudetenland. There is no way the allies would agree to it.
@@user-ri1gq3ec2q i could see a divided Germany falling much quicker tho. I think the course of the war would have been better over all even if the aftermath was no better
This scene - I forget this history happened - I cling to the edge of my seat, hoping, praying they will succeed That is how good this scene is, this movie is. To make you forget how history went and pray they will change WWII
It bothers me just a bit, but Inglourious Basterds - an alternative history/fictional movie - has actors speaking actual German, French, Italian, while Valkyrie, a historical movie, has German characters speaking English.
It's all about the context of the movie. At the beginning of Valkyrie, the narration starts off in German and switches to English, leading the viewers to apply their suspension of disbelief and assume that we all suddenly know how to speak German and it simply translates to us in English. Everyone speaks in English but we are supposed to believe it's German. In Inglorious Basterds on the other hand, language and accents have a key role to play in the story. You've got French, German, British, American characters, all talking to each other, there's supposed to be a difference between all of them and the way they speak so it wouldn't make any sense for them to all speak the same language. The funny thing is, it's a nighmare when these movies are being dubbed.
I remember watching this scene in this movie several years ago because at 1:41 , An officer places someone under arrest followed by a soldier who later takes his gun before detaining him during the time when operation Valkyrie goes in effect .
@@lysbringer868 Actually they kinda did, since they state that they felt that the German army was doing dishonorable acts and that was losing the war, that was one of the motives though, they didn't directly did it for the jew, but they were motivated by the holocaust, i think, i might be wrong though.
@@LordMalgusPrometheus Stauffenberg knows that the war is lost, but Hitler wants to fight till every soldier died in war. Stauffenberg joined the resistance to save the german Soldiers, People and his family
Despite (some) inaccuracies this movie is one of the better ones showing the plot of July 20th 1944. It's exciting even though everybody knows the outcome.
That feeling you get when you sneak out of the house thinking the parents are asleep... then you get the phone call “where are you”. This portrays that exactly
If that bomb had got hitler, this plan would've totally worked, the Prussians would've taken control, there would've been an organized surrender, there would've been no west or east germany. They probably would've been an industrious military power in 50s-60s-70s NATO. The impact on the balance of power in eastern europe and the ability of the USSR to compete would've been impacted.
It wouldn't have worked at all, their plan was to negotiate a surrender with the Western Allies that would see Germany's 1914 borders restored at worst and at best their 1937 borders.
indeed. If only Claus von Stauffenberg wait until Hitler went back to his bunker or walk out the conference room to the back of the building until the bomb exploded then walk back in and then put a bullet on Hitler's head then head back and let the Coup begins >:) I definitely would watch this alternative timeline film over and over again, also other films. also laughing at the Nazis being arrested by the opposing germans

Their actions with Operation Valkyrie prove that much. If it goes well there may have not been a need for an occupation and de-nazification could’ve occurred by Germany’s own will to preserve a peace with the Allies.

@@mode1557 And that's not bravery, sacrificing yourself to save your country and probably millions of people? A large part of the people involved in the assassination had also tried for years, even before the war began, to get rid of Hitler in order to prevent a war. For example, Beck, Oster, von Witzleben and Goerdeler, among many others, prepared a coup in 1938 to oust and execute Hitler during the Sudeten Crisis, but this was thwarted by the Munich Conference and the acquiescence of GB and France to Hitler's demands.

One of the most evil ones, but sadly far away from being the only one. History is a dirty piece of knowledge once you look closer, but I think without Hitler things might have been a bit better. Maybe Stalin would have never dared to start a war on his own, Mao probably had never been able to ruin the lives of more people than the whole world war...and though it was too late for that in 1944 it was not too late to save a lot of lives.

dont know why, his movies actually make sense and are not so obviously filled with cliches.
actually it is a exact remake of the german movie Stunde der Offiziere /Walküre from 2004 ( without the documentry part ) , even the original lines have been translated 1-1 into english. ua-cam.com/video/01ypqDLF10M/v-deo.html
Tom Cruise is short while Stauffenberg irl is a really tall dude
So many actors from 'Downfall' and german actors in general.

Not as weird as hearing pseudo-german spoken in movies.

This coup scene gotta be my favorite currently. The quick paced, the shots, the amount of soldiers. Amazing
Its so heartwarming to see German Army soldiers arresting SS people.
Being on the right side at last must feel pretty good especially when you do it in style
The heart warming part was when they executed the traitors
They had been lied to by Stauffenberg and others, told they were arresting traitors. The German army was still loyal to Hitler.
@@robinstewart6510 Loyal to the end. Unlike the Other soldiers these days there is no loyalty left in them.i mean there are still loyalty but not like it once was.

excellent comment sir!
Lucas Ammons Traitors
well by the book they are terrorists
if the coup was successful, they could make an armistice with the allies
Wiz ol: Hitler send dozens of peace proposals through out the war, the majority when he was outright winning
if this plot have been successful maybe the war would have ended sooner and Germany is never divided
25 Million people, that is the estimation of the victims after July 20th. Yes, things could have turned out for the better for so many innocents.
Actually nope. Latest research states that the Soviets would still push. There would be possible truce between Ger and western countries but the Soviets would still push toward Berlin at least. Also at that stage they would easily defeat Germany alone.
dalmar23 But in that state thw allies mabey would help the germans but thats unclear
That would be very difficult situation for the allies. Soviet propaganda would use that extremly hard as to who is opposing the former nazi army and who is helping them. I dont belive the allies would still remain so united then. GB was economically crushed at that point and France was military marginal value so they both would push against another conflict. If USA would decide to oppose the soviets they would end up most probably alone.Wiithout those 2 how could USA explain new war?
Annogi I haven't done research on the topic but I would have assumed if they still had to fight the USSR they would have allowed the western allies to reach Berlin and keep Germany from being split from Becoming a Communist state.

Staffenberg should have used both bombs instead of just one.
That should have better the odds of him actually succeding.
JTN Akl Actually even if they still managed to kill Hitler, Valkyrie was initiated far too late into the war to have ang effect, Stauffenberg's plan was to conduct peace negotiations with the western allies, BUT did not want to stop fighting the soviets in the east. In his original plan he sought to surrender "conditionally" which was unacceptable to the western allies. And they failed to kill Himmler, Göring, Goebbels and the German Chief of Staffs Keitel and Jodl, this would result in a counter coup that would eliminate the Stauffenburg's government within minutes and would lead to either Himmler or Göring's ascension as thr new Führer
Historically, the second bomb didn't work.
Emin Carpentier the second bomb did not work cause they ran out of time to arm it properly but the first bombs explosion would have triggered the second one
Thank you Captain Hindsight
@@carlopulanco183 Unless Rommel jumped on Stauffenburg's train and led the Wehrmacht against Hitler's henchmen. Since he was arguably their most popular general, both the people and the military would support him. It could also be arguable that if the plan worked and he negotiated with the Allies, they could work together to backstab the Soviets since Churchill and the Allies were fearful of the post war soviet problem. This would seem like a perfect way to knock out 2 birds with one stone. We all know Churchill had operation unthinkable in his back pocket in 1945.
Their uniform was just awesome. The best military uniform ever!!!

Don't believe everything your history books tell you.

+NicholasGeschke
They were lucky over a hundred were hung on meat hooks.
they didn't made that for any precious honour... they know by july 20 that all their prussian states will fall into comunist hands and they made that only for german integrity not for hating the nazis.
they didnt oppose the nazis as often thought, they opposed the dumb high command *primarily
Yet they wouldn't have needed to oppose the Nazis if they hadn't supported the nazis to begin with.
shred blue Hitler was against western values. He absolutely loathed Christians, and the only reason he probably refrained from targeting Christians was because the majority of the German population was Christian. Although even then he targeted certain Christian groups such as Jehovah's witnesses.
He was also very fond of Islam, and despised capitalism. He would admire Isis far more than any of the European countries.
He loathed Europe and their imperialism, even though he himself partook in what could be considered imperialism.
What an amazing piece of history this would've been if it actually worked. I mean, it was amazing that the attempt happened but imagine if they pulled it off. It would've rewritten so much, the berlin wall, the cold war, so much could've been different if Germany did not fall the way it did.
No that would of most likely happened anyway. The allies by this point already committed to unconditional surrender only, and had already agreed to partision/devide Germany at the Tehran conference. And at casbalanca the Americans announced they would not accept anything less than unconditional surrender.
In otherwords the allies, well America and Russia (the British and the free french were not so committed), had already effectively committed to the Berlin Wall in 1943.
This would have saved hundreds of thousands if not millions from concentration camps however. And it might have saved non-german countries from getting soviet occupation (like Poland) which might have shortened the cold War one way or another.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Then again, at this point of the war, the Allies were already concerned about containing Stalin's influence and the USSR itself. Depending on how the government was operated post-Valkyrie, as well as what the terms of surrender were, it may have been good enough for the Western powers to accept over what they did with Stalin. It would allow both Britain and the US to completely focus on Japan in the Pacific, ending the war far sooner and with a far smaller Soviet Russia. If the nukes are still completed, their true capabilities may be kept secret long enough to stall Soviet nuclear development, and the USSR would not get many of the German technologies they did (mostly jet engines and rocket designs) from captured scientists and documents.
Literally. The bomb was designed for the bunker and if it weren't for the weather they really would have killed Hitler. It's crazy how close they were
@@country_flyboy The western powers would never agree to some kind of settlement they were committed to unconditional surrender only and to all allied powers(USSR as well) It is true they were afraid of Stalin, mainly Churchill but at this point he was seen as very valuable ally. The concerns really came only in 1945. They've seen nazism as enemy number 1, not communism. The terms of some kind of potential and unprobable peace with western allies are up to debate because no one has any idea what they would look like. Either way it wouldn't have been good. USSR was throwimg men at Nazis and were pushing them back quickly. How the war Nazis v Soviets would've ended would depend on the allied help. I imagine they would stop it but either communist Europe or Nazi Europe (excluding France, Norway and the low countries which I imagine would've been freed in any kind of settlement) depending on who would win the war. But I believe that Nazi Germany was destined to lose this war completely and absolutely. Don't want to quote Hitler but he said something along the lines: "Providence has saved me to finish my doing". Yes that's true. His doing was to absolutely and completely destroy Germany to it's core.
Maybe Churchill Plan "Operation Unthinkable" would then really have been carried out. To attack Stalin with a rearmed Wehrmacht, British troops and US Army. Just as it was scheduled for 1 July 1945. The first attempt of a kind of NATO with 47 divisions of the Western Allies. This was also General Pattons plan. But it was too late and risky. After spying information, in 1944, Stalin serious thought to marching on with Its Army as far as France and Italy after a victory over Germany and at the same time conquering norway and denmark in order to secure the Baltic Sea. When it was too late for "Operation Unthinkable", they prepared for a defense of Great Britian against the Soviet Union.
I’m so fascinated with this. If only they’d succeeded. Millions of lives would have been saved
You forgot they pacific Front?, But in First place the soviets won't accept a peace and the sovereign of many states under german rule in the East, only with a change of Regime in Germany, and something that the movie don't mentions is the will of german military was to continue the war against USSR, Churchill was a supporter of War against USSR at that point, even was a possible plan to rearm germans and fight back with them against URSS, that could change the politics between USSR and Japan, even cancel USSR Offensive in Manchuria in 1945, that could extend the war in Japan(fact: Bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki didn't caused the Japan Surrender, only the USSR Invasion days later), the Downfall Op. could be done by US, that could mean a total massacre in Japan(the Two bombs could look like a Childrens Game) and war extension until 1947 in the pacific.
But in that point the Interest of allies to support a Rebellion or a coup in Germany was lost since 1943, they have choosen the destruccion of german Industrial and War Machine, with totally disarmed Germany, to apply the Morgentau Plan(Research It if you want), but then was cancel, instead they applied Marshall Plan, cause Morgentau Plan would created a weak flank agaist soviets in the whole German state remains.

People always write on and make film of "what if the Nazi's won" Alternate Universe's, it'd be more realistic if they wrote on what if the Operation Valkyrie was a success, you wouldn't have a ruined Germany, the USSR would've collapsed much earlier, Communism would've disintegrated and North Korea probably wouldn't exist… Who knows?
The war would have ended sooner but the post war division of Germany and Europe had already been decided.
ha.. you mean what if the good guys actually won? well there biggest enemy was communism so they would have destroyed that an liberated all the countires under communism. an yes "liberate" incase you don't know history the east europians saw them as liberators. communists did fucked up shit to them before ww2 like with Ukraine they militarily quarantined their country and took all their food away, like 10 million people died of hunger. no communism means no red china and all the good that comes with that, no Korean or Vietnam war, no nk. and the jews plan to dissolve the europian races with multiculturalism and DIEversity never would have hatched. how often do you think the thought "hmm am I brainwashed?" pops into the mind of a north Korean... and its same with everyone here too.
If the regular German Army had turned on the SS, the allies more than likely would have joined on the German side and possibly even have fought the USSR
Zero chance of that. German generals even approached the allies with that possibility - they were turned down. It was unconditional surrender all the way.
Lol what? The only difference would have been a slightly less insane regime in Germany and the war might have ended about a month sooner. The Valkyrie plotters wanted a negotiated peace with the Western Allies that would have recognized their conquests of Czechoslovakia and Poland in exchange for withdrawal from occupied Western Europe. The Allies would never have accepted this, seeing as how President Roosevelt said that he would accept nothing less than the complete and unconditional surrender of all Axis forces. Even if the plot had succeeded and the plotters made their peace with the western Allies, they still would have been steamrolled by the Soviets within a year. If anything, communism would have been stronger, as the Iron Curtain would have been laid in the Alps rather than the Carpathians.
This movie would've been so much better if they actually spoke German and had subtitles. Or at the very least, German accents, not British and American.
I agree. I've seen it dubbed into Spanish, so I didn't have this problem. But it would have been great if they spoke German.
Probably possible to purchase the German DVD version with several languages' subtitles. Okay, English rather than spanish... anyway ;) Have a try.
Making the movie with English-American actors speaking English with a German accent would make even less sense than they speaking just regular English. "English with a German accent" gives off the idea that these are all Germans that are speaking accented English to each other for some reason, which makes no sense. With them speaking regular English, you get the feeling that they are all speaking the same language (in this case, German) to each other, and we can understand them because the fourth wall acts as a 'translator' of sorts.
MrConstantine02 The German actors (Schweighoefer) speaking even German words/names with American accents is a bit bizarre though.
I disagree, most of us realize we are watching a film and to make it easier for us to understand and follow the dialog the Germans speak English

It bothers me just a bit, but Inglourious Basterds - an alternative history/fictional movie - has actors speaking actual German, French, Italian, while Valkyrie, a historical movie, has German characters speaking English.
Also Cruise looks so much like Stauffenberg.
It doesn't matter the film did good
Fuck it
It's all about the context of the movie. At the beginning of Valkyrie, the narration starts off in German and switches to English, leading the viewers to apply their suspension of disbelief and assume that we all suddenly know how to speak German and it simply translates to us in English. Everyone speaks in English but we are supposed to believe it's German.
In Inglorious Basterds on the other hand, language and accents have a key role to play in the story. You've got French, German, British, American characters, all talking to each other, there's supposed to be a difference between all of them and the way they speak so it wouldn't make any sense for them to all speak the same language.
The funny thing is, it's a nighmare when these movies are being dubbed.
Yes, you are right
I remember watching this scene in this movie several years ago because at 1:41 , An officer places someone under arrest followed by a soldier who later takes his gun before detaining him during the time when operation Valkyrie goes in effect .

If that bomb had got hitler, this plan would've totally worked, the Prussians would've taken control, there would've been an organized surrender, there would've been no west or east germany. They probably would've been an industrious military power in 50s-60s-70s NATO. The impact on the balance of power in eastern europe and the ability of the USSR to compete would've been impacted.
It wouldn't have worked at all, their plan was to negotiate a surrender with the Western Allies that would see Germany's 1914 borders restored at worst and at best their 1937 borders.
And hide the Nazi atrocities especially concentration camps

Watching the German reserves arresting there own SS officials was like watching the clones hearing order 66 and turning on Sidious instead 😂
This part of the movie was so great, and I wanted to believe so bad that it would succeed. But we all know history...
It just dawned on me, some of the officers and men executing the operation must have been like: “I have waited for this moment my entire life”
Imagine the adrenaline that they’d feel from the stress of all of it. I’d be both excited and terrified.
its a movie idiot
Stauffenberg "We have control of the government quarter, we don't have Berlin yet."
Red Army: "Don't worry, leave it to us."
That may be true. The Wermacht and the SS are always staring at each other down at all times, there's definitely someone who want to settle things. Beck talking through the phone about "acts of vengence will not be tolerated" seem to affirm this possibility too.
People often make this mistake, but Valkyrie wasnt the actual plot, Valkyrie was a protocol for if anyone was gonna try to overthrow the government.
This was just one of many plots
@@Lady_Amelia-Eloise Yes, this was a plot that tried to use the legal protocol when the fuhrer died.
they disguised the revolt as exactly the opposite
So how many flags would you like
SS: Yes
OK ordering like 500 flags!
SS: Yes
4:34 - Fegelein and his antics
This is another WW2 movie that love, even though it was a tragedy. I also love using operation market garden and Valkyrie as codes.
claus is my great,great uncle
+klara von stauffenberg For real?
yeah, his brother is my great granpa, im a von stauffenberg
klara von stauffenberg That's awesome, it's nice to meet a Von Stauffenberg. Your great grand uncle was a hero to Germany.
thx, but so was his brother and any one elese that helped
else
These guys were *so close* to changing probably the next 100 years of history. Holy f-ing smokes.
Operation Valkyrie: Fails
Soviets: Hold my Vodka
Prigoshin in russia right now be like....
So this is what Baron von Strucker been doing before avengers =]]
+Anakin Skywalker Check up fegelein on YT I bet u will find a new likeable character :D :D
Yes, FEGELEIN is eternal, and HELLO THERE!
So many parallels to Turkey.
MrDK0010 south Korea huh....an American outpost to contain China. That's all your country is. Keep slurping the imperialist sock.
haveumet ted Butthurt? Try cream.
MrDK0010 like What? I like the fact that I'm not 5'5" and I don't have a 3" micro penis.
Oh, terrifying arguments you got there.
Do you believe average stereotypes apply to everybody?
Think again.
You seem to be buttmad for what reason exactly?
0:30 that"s a clever design to get troops out of a truck fast
lol thats what they use for rides to get attendees in and out quickly like in disney park
I love how efficient the Wehrmacht was.
I think we can all agree, German officer uniforms are an art.
Yeah
3:12 Its kinda funny when an SS seem to be complaining and be like: What the f*ck did I even do??
It's such an underrated film.
This film makes the conspirators look so much more competent than they were
This may be my favourite film of all time.
Emperor Hitler,
“Commander, the time has come, execute order 66.”
Commander,
“It will be done my lord.”
1:37 He got told !😂 such a good scene !
I think we would all enjoy to say that to someone.
2:16 When my friend saw this scene he thought to himself "What the hell was the Nazis' flag budget during the war?!?! Jeez!"
Wagner PMC brought me here!
Mere coincidence that the names are Wagner and Valkyrie?
Thomas Kretschmann looks very nice here! As always actually!
The Allies were fighting the wrong enemy . As history has shown . Right up to the present.
